[LBo] Print servers.

[Lonnie Mullenix]

One of the items mentioned recently was using a Linux Distro as a print
server on a home LAN.

>From my personal experience, Gentoo makes a Beautiful print server for a
Linux based LAN.  I have tried Debian and Mint, I had
NO/NADA/ZILTCH/ZERO success getting any of the *buntu's to work on my
equipment.  So, installed a fairly basic Gentoo on a second box, and it
has one parallel and one USB printer attached to it, which it serves up
Very nicely to the rest of the machine on my network.

And, both the printers were WinPrinters in their day.  LexMark E210 and
an HP DeskJet 820Cse.

That is why I have two Gentoo boxes, and three Debian boxes.  Debian was
my first Real Linux success and, lets face it, Gentoo is Not a newbie
distro.

Later all,

Lonnie
